Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it is hot enough for baking the pizza.
2. Shape the Dough
On a floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a round shape, about 12 inches in diameter. Place it on a pizza stone or a baking sheet.
3. Add Sauce
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving about an inch around the edges for the crust.
4. Add Cheese
Tear the fresh mozzarella cheese into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the sauce.
5. Season and Drizzle
Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the pizza. Drizzle the olive oil on top.
6. Bake the Pizza
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
7. Garnish and Serve
Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and top it with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve hot.
